Why People Need Storm Armour
Water Intrusion is the Leading Cause of Property Damage in FL, NC, SC, TX, AL, and LA:
Water intrusion is the leading cause of property damage during storms and hurricanes, particularly in condominiums. According to the Insurance Information Institute, water damage accounts for approximately 30% of all property insurance claims.
In 2024, Hurricane Helene caused between $30.5 billion and $47.5 billion in property damage across 16 states, with a significant portion attributed to water intrusion.
Avoid Costly Repairs:
The average water damage claim is $14,000, and costs increase exponentially when multiple condo units are affected.
Avoid the Domino Effect of Condo Damage:
Condos are uniquely at risk due to shared structures. Water damage in one unit can spread to others, leading to extensive repairs and potential disputes among owners and homeowners’ associations.
Mitigate Insurance Gaps:
Most insurance policies exclude water intrusion caused by storms and hurricanes, leaving property owners unprepared and financially vulnerable. Sadly, over 80% of U.S. homeowners do not carry flood insurance, and even fewer policies address storm-driven water intrusion, exposing millions to significant financial risk.
Manufacturers’ Disclaimers Leave Property Owners Vulnerable:
Window and sliding door manufacturers explicitly state in their fine print that they DO NOT guarantee or accept liability for water intrusion through tracks, leaving property owners unprotected. Storm Armour bridges this gap, offering a proactive solution to safeguard properties from costly damage.
For instance, most major window and door manufacturers specify that their warranties do not cover water intrusion caused by wind-driven rain during high wind events.
Protection Against Water Intrusion:
Storm Armour prevents up to 99% of water intrusion through sliding door tracks, providing a proven solution to a problem often overlooked. Stakeholders often address damage reactively rather than investing in proactive measures, leaving property owners at risk of costly repairs and disputes.
